So here is Odd Thursday race report. We 6 racers make the show. We had some fast cars and we had some not so fast cars. There was some close racing some of us stayed in the slot and some of us not so much. In the end we had winners and we had loosers. But ant no big deal because the simple man makes the pills that ...... Some enjoy the thrill of victory other the bitter taste of defeat. We take along month break with no racing on the next odd Thursday race so lots of time to tune those cars..
It rumble in the basement. Who's up for some paint trading?
Ok sounds like a new motor is needed foe the womp..
Well the yard and house survived the battle zone last night. All the cars are going to need a hose down and a wash. Nobody loss any fingers. Can't say the same for my hearing..food was great the company was great. My marriage survived another 4th. So hey it was a good day after all
Happy 4th keep all those digits safe when blowing stuff up tonight.
I'm a die hard so unless I'm out of town I'm in. Also Al still running throughout the summer so people can get there racing fix that way also. We most of us have at least one spare car to loan out.
We had another fun night racing. We had 6 racer make the drive out with one of them being his 1st time out. Bruce been running ho cars with the local ho club so he knew his way around a slot car track. So after a some practice we threw him in and started the racing for the night. Up 1st was Trans am and Doc some how took the win over Al with Dave on the last step. Up next was Can Am there were some fast cars but to many forced errors Doc car wasn't the fastest one but was quick enough and three mistake free rounds to take a easy win over Al and Greg taking 3rd. We lost two drivers so track call were in order for the last race of the night
It all came down to the last heat of the night. Doc had one tenth lead and both Al and Doc lined up side by side in the two fast lanes. The start buzzer sounded and off they went for 3min racing side by side the whole way neither able to pull more than a few car lengths from each other and when the time counted down to zero Doc able coast and finish half a car length in front of Al and hold par for the win. It close and a clean heat with both drivers keeping there cars in the slot and keeping of each other . Great racing there Al.. that was it for the night see you all in two weeks.

That smell didn't come from the "crack of doom" did it?
yep nobody every said my gas smelled like hi octane fuel. More inline with swamp gas..
What's that smell in the air ?. Could be hi octane fuel and exhaust from 800 hp v 8 engines warming up I. The afternoon sun...get those thundering monsters from the golden Era of onload racing tuned up for battle...
Al reports it is a typo will need it changed to 07 13 23
That might be a typo should be the 07 13 23.have to give Al a text and make sure.
I remember those display case I may have even been one of those kids pushing and drooling at all the amazing toys it displayed. A DNA test may be in order.
Yes sir I 2nd that. Time to get those low riders up off the track surface.
Cough cough between the dust and cobwebs it really been slow. Must really be the dog days of summer.
Man does anybody dust around here???
Another fun close night of racing at Al's place last night. We had 6 racer make out to do battle on the track and it was a battle.up 1st was sports car 1 and with 14k motors and skinny tires you had to drive the car like you stole it to make time so there was lot of forced errors trying to make time around the track. Doc pulled out is trusted ninco Cobra and was able to squeeze out the win over Al's smoking smooth running brass chassis Cobra followed by Greg's equally prepaid birdcage. Up next was slot it classic and to say these wasn't a interesting race would be a under statement. Race came down to a Ford vs Ferrari battle and unlike the movie the ford's did not come out on top..both top running ford's had driver forced errors resulting in confused corner workers fumbling with cars and important time loss. Trying to get the the cars back into the race. We all learned a very important lesson some of more than once. In the end Rico stood tall and very happy on the top step followed by Al and then Doc. Last race of the night was open class and these class is dominant by thunderslot cars. These race was a battle all night with cars just mm apart on the track and there was lots of painted traded and cars sent into the rails in the close battles. There was very little quarter given.you had to pick your pass with great care and hope to get away to the next corner and hope you could hold onto your lead. In the end Doc was able to hold off some hard charging cars and take the win. I think Al took 2nd followed by Rico and Gregg. But that race was crazy with how intense the racing was. Next race in two weeks is can am and trans am.

Me no can post me pictures Me so sad
In my best odd ball impressions from Kelly's heroes.I was assaulted by those flexies.you know what I mean by assaulted,huh ? WELL I MEAN ASSAULTED.
I'm happy to loan it to anyone that wants to enter it.
There you go Rico. I would but already have a car being built.
Look like we just going to all have to show up at your house and do a intervention on why you must run that car...
O man come on give the old 917 one more run..
Hope you get better soon, take care and stay safe.
He lives he lives. You need to dig that proxy 917 out of retirement and send it in to tha le man's proxy that going on at home racing world forum. You have been called out a few times. I'm building a Lola t70 for it
Last point race of the year and it did end with out a little excitement and drama added at the end.it was another light turn out with only 5 racers making it out. We were hoping for more with many saying there were coming out. Either Al checks didn't clear or traffic was a issue. We will never know which was the case. So up 1st was group c slot it and Doc car was the class of the field and took a easy win over the field. Up next was the money race and once again Doc had the car to beat. Doc started out in the white lane so he would have to wait and see were every body was running before coming in on the last heat of the night. Doc had a 2 lap cushion on the field and if could back up what he ran in the 1st two heats he was home free. What that saying never count your chickens before they hatch. Well all night I been preaching make sure you hook up your controller correct and what do I do. Yep I did it. The green flag Flys and full blast into the turn 1 wall look down and see it hooked up wrong. Get it hooked up correctly and find I smoked the brake pot. So least to say red lane with no brakes is some what of a challenge to run. Rico ended up taking the win followed By Al and Doc taking 3rd . That was the end of the night of racing .in the end Al got the bad luck he was looking for but not enough guys on the track to make up the points lead Doc had. Even so the turn out were on the light side the racing was ways very close and fun. Hopefully we start to get people to start coming back out and racing the 1/32 cars. See you all in two weeks
